Nick's reading is good for a recreational runner and easily beats a sprinter. Long distance runners such as Paula Radcliffe measure at about 65-70 ml/min/kg while rowers like James Cracknell are at about 60 ml/min/kg.

While rowers are renowned for the legendary fitness they don't score as highly in a VO2 max test where weight is taken into account. This is because their body weight is supported, the same goes for cyclists.
